FCT, Abuja – A former Senator representing Kaduna Central District in the 8th National Assembly, Shehu Sani, said no Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) can âchopâ the money of the Labour Party (LP) candidate, Olumide Akpata in the just concluded governorship election in Edo state.
He stated this while reacting to the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo as governor-elect of Edo state on Sunday, September 22.
Sani said Akpata is SAN himself, hence, no way a fellow SAN will âchopâ his money.
The former federal lawmaker stated this via his X handle (formerly known as Twitter) @ShehuSani on Monday, September 23.
